I've been working to replace the front suspension control arms on my '01 S4, fighting the
usual stubborn ball joints, etc. One thing has me a little stumped. The bolts on the
inside ends of the rear-most lower control arms run into the body before they come far
enough out to remove the arms. There is no mention of it in the factory ELSA information.
Do I have to drop the subframe (!) just to make enough room to remove the bolts. Seems
ridiculous. Any experience out there?
TIA,
John
